To use a paired key panic function, simply press both keys of the assigned pair at the same time.

If your keypad(s) have lettered keys for panic functions, press the designated key and hold down for at least 2 seconds to activate the panic function.

A silent emergency sends a silent alarm signal to the central station, but there will be no audible alarms or visual displays.

An audible emergency sends an emergency message to the central station (if connected) and will sound a loud, steady alarm at your keypad and at any external sounders that may be connected (ALARM plus a zone number would also be displayed).

A personal emergency alarm sends an emergency message to the central station (if connected) and will sound at Keypads, but not at external Notification Appliance Circuits. (ALARM plus a zone number would also be displayed.)

A fire alarm sends a fire alarm message to the central station and will uniquely sound external Notification Appliance Circuits. (FIRE plus a zone number would also be displayed).
